Descrizione

Champagne L’Inattendue 2016 in magnum format, boxed, bears the signature of Maison Henriot. In the glass it shows a fine, persistent bead that supports a balance between freshness and the maturity of the 2016 vintage. The aromatic profile includes notes of white-fleshed fruit, citrus zest and fine yeasts, with a savory, lively palate that allows softer hints of toasted bread. The structure is elegant and compact, suited to those seeking a sparkling wine with character without excess.

Perfect as a magnum to share on important occasions, it highlights the gustatory progression in the glass. Serve well chilled, in a flute or a wider bowl to better capture its olfactory complexity. Ideal pairings include seafood, shellfish, baked or grilled fish dishes, creamy risottos and soft cheeses; it also pairs with desserts that are not overly sweet. The box makes it suitable as an elegant gift.

Winery history

The Henriot family settled in Champagne as early as 1640; Apolline Henriot founded the Maison in 1808. Over time the holdings expanded to include crus from the Côte des Blancs (e.g. Avize, Le Mesnil‑sur‑Oger, Chouilly) as well as the Montagne de Reims (Verzy, Verzenay, Mailly). Keeping reserve wines for blends dates back to the House’s origins; recent initiatives include the “Alliance Terroirs” program (from 2020).

Production philosophy

A pursuit of elegance, finesse and terroir expression; a balanced style with significant Chardonnay presence in the cuvées and systematic use of reserve wines to ensure continuity and complexity. Commitment to soil knowledge and adaptive viticultural practices (Alliance Terroirs project). ([champagne-henriot.com](https://www.champagne-henriot.com/en/collection/henriot-brut-souverain))

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards and sourcing in Champagne: Montagne de Reims (including Verzy, Verzenay, Mailly‑Champagne) and the Côte des Blancs (Avize, Le Mesnil‑sur‑Oger, Chouilly); the Brut Souverain cuvée is assembled from about 29 crus. ([champagne-henriot.com](https://www.champagne-henriot.com/fr/histoire))
